svn kills the ssh process with SIGKILL, which cannot be trapped.
This is very rude, giving the ssh process (or a wrapper script) no
chance to clean up after itself. My recommended fix is described in
<http://svn.haxx.se/dev/archive-2006-03/0984.shtml>. I don't want to
learn enough about APR to implement the fix, so I get by with wrapper
scripts which are much more complex than they should have to be and
which are too site-specific to share.
